This book explores the changing meanings of place for our identities and life stories in the 21st century, using an empirical approach developed in narrative and discursive psychology.
Through an analysis of women''s talk, the book examines how commonsense meanings shape and limit people''s identity-work to establish a connection to place. It argues that talk about place, and especially place of residence, enables a complex positioning of self and others in which identities of gender, class and national identity intersect. It shows how a speaker''s multiple interpretations of where she lives remain central to her life narrative, and to her fragile and idealized definition of ''home'' as theplace in which she may position herself positively."--pub. desc.
